Marlin auf Tronxy X5SA 500 Pro Z-Motor

Hello everyone,

I m trying to run the Marlin firmware on my Tronxy X5SA as described on blogs.

Now I m facing the problems that only one Z Motor is turning and not the two.

I chassed the problem to the point that, the PINs in Marlin for

#define Z2_ENABLE_PIN
#define Z2_STEP_PIN
#define Z2_DIR_PIN

are incorrect.

Question: who do I get to know the right or the PINs of other Outputs?

Thank you in advance.

I m happy as well about any config that running on a chitu V6 board

If it has dual Z stepper on independent stepper driver you need to set #define NUM_Z_STEPPER_DRIVERS 2 In Configuration_adv.h

You can check pins with M43, you need to enable PINS_DEBUGGING in Configuration_adv.h to enable M43

But from googling I see this images, of what is meant to be the controller. (and others all slightly different)



But all the images show it only has 1 Z stepper motor. and E2 is missing so you can't use that... check what yours actually looks like.
But this may only be a v5, cant find something that actually says its a picture of a V6

Thank you for your response.

I tried to check the PINS via M43 but I could not even connect to the board (using simplify 3D).

I m a bit helpless at the moment what to do...

Hi,
I have the same problem. Just one Z-Motor is running. Did you find a solution?

From my limited experience with the Tronxy D01 that uses the same board
The 2 Z stepper ports are already wired in series with each other so no FW config is needed!! This is supported by the fact that on my D01 that only has one Z stepper, a 2 links/jumpers are needed in the secondary Z port to allow the primary Z motor to run.

Z1 cant function unless Z2 port is occupied by a stepper or the links!!

Ive attached a couple of pics showing the links in Z2 port

I would suggest some obvious tests
Try each motor indivually to confirm both are working
check that the wiring to both steppers coincides with them being used in series.
